Launch of a new initiative! at BARNABAS FUND
SUPPORTERS’ AFTERNOON


Saturday 12 June 2021 at 2 p.m. (repeated at 7 p.m.)

A tsunami of suffering engulfs our world. Covid-19 has inflicted much grief, but for many Christians it has been just one amongst many issues combining to devastating effect.
 
Come and hear what Barnabas Fund, under God, is launching at our Supporters’ Afternoon. We will be telling you about our new initiative – food.gives – channelling physical dry food from Christians in the West to our needy and persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.
 
Please join us to hear more about food.gives at the livestream event on Saturday
12 June, 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. It will conclude with a live Question & Answer session with Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, International Director of Barnabas Fund.
 
A recording of the event, including the Q&A session, will be streamed again at
7 p.m. the same day.
 
So come and join us on 12 June to be encouraged and uplifted, and to learn more about food.gives, a new way you can give practical help to persecuted Christians.
